K’ómoks First Nation is a prosperous community where each member has the opportunity for self-sufficiency. We will move forward in partnership, exercising our Aboriginal rights and title, and respecting our historical connection to our lands and to one another.

People of the K’ómoks First Nation

Our Elders and their Elders before that fought for our lands...they wanted to be a part of the economy and that's what we want now - to be part of the economy and to be sustainable.

We will negotiate a Treaty with the Crown that builds upon the rich culture and vibrant history of our people bringing forward the capacity and gifts that are present within each of us and the community. To this end, we will work cooperatively and collaboratively with all community members and those who support the K’ómoks First Nation Community Vision.
